I know what you mean. Aussie tv pretty much sucks. I happened to catch that stupid new Generation show the other night with Shaun McCalliff and it was an hour of my life I REALLY want back.
I laughed when, at one point one of the "comedians" was being heavy handed with a prop and Shaun said, "Careful with that, we've got twelve more episodes to go."
I responded with, "Oh no you DON'T Shaun!"
